Interesting! Would you mind elaborating?

Exactly! It seems to understand enough about what the commands mean and is able to carry the context forward even if it isn't exactly executing them. Sure someone must have posted …

I don't recall correctly but there was this patent/paper discussing how Facebook (& perhaps a few others) use the EXIF data to confirm and expand your social graph. I guess process…

This is what's so surprisingly scary about time value of money to me. Many "spectacular" investments that double or triple money over a decade or 2 are simply not all that great if…

Sent in a SQL command deleting multiple million records (intended) wrapped in a single transaction (not intended). The replication queues could not keep up and failed, bringing dow…

I believe it is when you review your colleagues, they review you and your manager collates all the reviews to access your performance. Some places allow you to nominate who you wan…

Yep. It was supposed to be a very small change. I blundered. My team understood that and was super supportive about it all too. But this was after it was all fixed. During the outa…

Welp, as a new grad there, I had brought down one very important database server on a Sunday night (a series of really unfortunate events). Multiple senior DBAs had to be involved …

For a second I legit thought Google banned my account for some reason. And I don't like it that I feel relieved..

I am sorry, but that hasn't been my experience at all. Both on Windows and Android. I've noticed that Firefox eats up far more memory than chrome with way lesser open tabs on both …

And I was surprised to know that this has made its way into hiring! So, the job hunt is going to get even more superfluous? Really reminds me of that Episode in Black Mirror, where…

Or maybe they should secretly ship the shirts with a large "spam PR" written on it for those who raised spammy PRs.

A lot of those accounts also seem to be created just a few hours before October 1st. Can GitHub time gate new accounts before that can make public PRs?

I am an Indian, and I've studied at an Indian university for my undergraduate degree, and I've witnessed spam like this everywhere. Not hacktoberfest, but I've been a part of it my…

This. I've given up trying to figure out new ways to get around all the censorship. Not to mention, the current govt. has proven that it's ready to use any excuse to take punitive …

This is something that bothers me a bit. On my PC memory usage spikes even after having tabs open for a short while. I've recently shifted to Firefox and I noticed that after openi…

If you have an account you can set this as the default. old.reddit.com + RES works really well for me. I really hope old.reddit.com does not go away.

I had worked on an application that saw less than 100 writes per minute and about 1k reads per min and used a caching layer in front of the DB. Not only was the cache actually slow…

Amazing book. Truly astounding sequence of events. Greatest irony of all, they named their firm "Long-term Capital Management", while taking hugely leveraged short-term positions (…

Nothing like being a n00b on Runescape and getting scammed of your entire bank by players "glow1:wave: Doubling Money" at the GE.

Ahh GTA Vice City brings up some memories. Back then, me and my friends in the building started the game at around the same time. We loved discussing the game every morning on the …

I am all for cheaper and accessible internet, but I have a few concerns. On pricing, the incumbents really needed a jolt with their terrible pricing. But I think Jio went a little …

On the flip side's flip side's flip side, if people weren't anxious about making money and building a future all those fun ideas might not have gotten monopolized for use

Highcharts too? I checked if they had tree shaking, but apparently not https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/issues/8667

Smart contracts are smart enough to allow formation of groups of devs, form a vote and disperse funds. Devs who are directly responsible for maintaining a portion of code can vote …
